We've already diagnosed this on IRC, and it turns out to be due to the alpha upstream maintainers trying to out-clever the kernel's standard clever handling of "inline", which results in code that must always be inlined not always being inlined. This doesn't affect just the xfs module, it also affects drm.ko. Anyway, a tentative fix has been proposed, to use the always_inline attribute explicitly for this function, but it remains to be implemented -- I don't have space here to do test kernel builds for alpha without doing a lot of shuffling, and nobse hasn't gotten back to me on it since the day we had that discussion on IRC. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
